------------TRANSITION 2010 AN ALL ISLAND GATHERING 13-15 AUGUST------------
This is the first all island gathering of the Ireland and Northern Ireland network of community initiatives making the transition to resilience. Transition is a process to help communities find new ways of coping with the challenges we face. By coming together and localising our food production, developing renewable energy sources, enhancing our local economies and future proofing our
buildings, communities can develop the resilience needed to weather the storms of these challenging times.
